The Forbidden City
Description
The Forbidden City, also known as Zǐjìnchéng in Chinese, is a grand palace complex located in the Dongcheng District of Beijing, China. It stands at the heart of the Imperial City of Beijing and is surrounded by several lavish imperial gardens and temples, including Zhongshan Park, Beihai Park, and Jingshan Park. These landmarks cover an area of 22 hectares, 69 hectares, and 23 hectares respectively. The Palace Museum is responsible for its administration.
In recent years, the climate in the Forbidden City area has shown a trend of rising temperatures, decreasing rainfall, and increasing drought. The vegetation, soil, and water sources in the area have been affected to some extent due to the impact of climate change, and some cultural heritage sites and architectural structures have been threatened as well.
